Good but needs some work Some features need enhancing . Longer buffer, selectable timeout duration, and allow it to word covers cell network not just WiFi. In today's world phones can use VPN to get back covers a cell network and this is not supported unless you are in a WiFi mode. It does work though but its not always simple to find free WiFi

Awkward Is there really no way to have a favorite that plays the most recent episode of a radio show or podcast? I can favorite a particular episode, but that is kinda useless. This feature either needs to be implemented or made easier to use.

Glitchy but necessary It's got it's problem but does OK for the most part. Let's you confirm the volume and go next without issues. When listening to Pandora it tends to get stuck on one track and stops displaying the track data and therefore thumbs up the wrong track when that happens.

Very outdated. Had I known logitech would stop updating their products' softwares I would have never gotten it. This product is very outdated. update the Spotify functions with that of the latest Spotify app. Spotify functions such as creating radio stations for songs, Browse and Discover functions should be added.

A significant downgrade I "upgraded" my Logitech Squeezebox to UE Smart Radio, and I regret it. The remote app is SO much worse. It's really awful. Siriusxm is cumbersome, but Spotify is just about unusable. Do not upgrade your Logitech Squeezebox. The old remote wasn't perfect, but was much better than UE.

Horrible - UE Smart Radio has turned me off from Logitech Products My experience with UE Smart Radio has completely turned me away from buying Logitech products. The UE Smart Radio application is a mess. The user interface is confusing, and mostly it simply doesn't work. The fact that Logitech forces you to depend on their cloud services is also terrible.

Nowhere near as good as SqueezePlayer. Two huge missing features that have been in SqueezePlayer for years... 1) Ability to turn on and off individual players. 2) Independently and also globally adjust the volumes. It's a visually appealing app if you like simplicity, but the features are horribly lacking. Having just upgraded 6 squeezeplayers, i'm probably going to downgrade them again so I can get these features back and un-orphan my Boom. Logitech, you really screwed this one up.

Sort of works, but very buggy and quirky... The majority of the functions work fine... Basic functions like browsing to a radio station and initially accessing your own music library, however... The Search function in "My Music" never seems to work, and all I get is the error "unknown in dispatch table" Also, when you navigate through "My Music" and select a track, the app can fail at letting you go back to navigating through the music from where you left off. Most of the time it will take you back to the main screen. When navigating through "My Music", if you go back to the previous page, you are taken straight back to the top of the list of options (albums/folders etc), instead of remembering which folder/category you have just come back from. But, mostly the app works well, it just needs a bit of polish :) All said... the Logitech Smart Radio is a very very awesome piece of kit :)

Amateuristic and counter intuitive Invalid response from server error. This is not what I expect from an international company. Although the app works, its very basic and counter intuitive. As a result, its too easy to exit the app instead of navigating back to the app selection.

Needs a LOT of work! The app has too many issues to list, but the poor UX design is the main thing. I think at this stage the best option would be for the entire dev team to be replaced completely (I'm sorry to say). The great hardware has been let down by mediocre software. I really hope some radical improvements are made.

Pathetic In years of using Android apps this has to be the worst. Doesn't connect with the radio no matter what. Logitech is another company with superb hardware and lousy software, the first being Samsung. Guys here's a tip - focus on what you do best, outsource the software to India!

Terrible UI The user interface of this app is a terrible mess, back drops you out of your navigation, or worse out of the application all together. Huge step backwards from the Squeezebox controller. Shame as the UE radio firmware is more stable.

No Playing Queue? Not possible to display a "Now Playing" queue, only the currently playing track. That's a MAJOR omission. Otherwise, app seems to function well enough. Easier and probably better than the old SqueezeBox Radio Controller, although lacking some of it's features.

The bare minimum I've had this for a year and there's never been an attempt to fix the many glaring bugs this app has. Sadly use of the radio suffers as a result as there's no other way to use it remotely. A clumsy, barely functional attempt that would prevent me from recommending the Smart Radio to anyone.

Good, but not good enough. The built-in GUI on the UE smart radio is quite unfriendly. If a controller wasn't offered for the device I wouldn't have purchased it, but now that I have it, I'm quite disappointed. Seems that this application is not compatible with all android models(HTC One). And for the models with compatibility ( HTC 1X), there are still issues with certain services (Spotify). With lacking GUI, this radio can only be as good as its controller and as it stands, this controller is no good. Please fix these issues.

Needs a Details View list instead of cover review Like a previous reviewer said you have to change the view in the favourites list. When you do a search you can see a details list, but once you add something to favourites its hopeless because the cover that is generated for the favourite station has nothing to do with the station, it simply takes the song cover which has no use 4 minutes later. Poor app in truth, it just about does the job until you need it to be more robust. No updates in a year is worrying, i'd strongly recommend against buying this device until these issues are fixed because you've a great product but you don't seem to care about your users in letting them use it.

Going back to Squeezebox The subscription logins doesn't seem to work as I get commercials now. Also going to Spotify it errors that the app cannot contact the server, etc. On the radio itself it works fine. Seems not much of maintenance is done. There is no iHeart anymore.

Less than Average Very Clumsy APP. Search function doesnt work at all on HTC-ONE. No consistency in navigation functions..ie: One menu item requires the phones "back" button while in another menu that closes the program!.. Terrible! Clicking on a song in MY MUSIC simply gives an error on the radio but going right into the options allows you to PLAY that song.. just stupid!!! I only just got this app and radio and there has been NO improvements in either app or firmware..

No update since February 2013! Seriously? With that many issues that's quite surprising! Only one to mention here: Why is there only a cover view of the favorites? I am unable to recognize many stations because of this :-\ I really think about switching to squeezebox firmware! At least there are alternatives for the controller App!

Such a Shame App is clunky for one, but it won't even play the songs I choose from my playlist. Once play is clicked, nothing happens on the radio at all even though the UE Library Server is running and has an updated library. Defeats the whole purpose.

I wish I didn't have to use it Ever since UE firmware replaced Squeezebox firmware, I can no longer use a web browser to control my radio and that's a shame, because this app has so many issues. It's consistently inconsistent in regards to what the "back" button does. sometimes it goes back a menu, sometimes it exits the app, sometimes it will go back to the main home menu. It's infuriating if I'm searching for something on Rhapsody and every time I try to go back a menu it does something different.

Infuriating Have the developers gone out of their way to make this such a frustrating experience? Did they test this at all? I doubt it. Why on earth can't you search an album name from you're handset? Instead you are forced to scroll down through a thousand albums if you want something starting with s. Retarded. Retarded. Retarded.

Poor layout I'm glad there is an app to control the radio. The layout is poor, once you go into a radio it's hard to tell how to get back to the main menu area. Being able to play music from the phone would be nice since they are both connected on Wi-Fi

Unknown in Dispatch Table Complete inability to search for songs. Favorites aren't labeled so hopefully the icon reminds you what it is. Not worth 'upgrading' your squeezebox. I'll be reverting back my new UE radio and slightly older sqeezebox back. What a waste of time.

dont understand the hate upgraded from squeezebox, the ui is much more intuitive and responsive. spotify works great, streaming from local library works, and as a mobile app I cant think of a reason not to give it a 5.

How about selecting songs from my phone 2 play on the Logitec radio I have also library app on my laptop but some songs are only on my phone how about the library app for android. Otherwise I find app usable

Needs to be tweaked Needs the menu button supported and a "Home" button. Back button doesn't act like you think it should, end up on the launcher home screen. Can't use my music from the app, works from radio not app.

Missing so much.... This upgrade is lacking quite a few features from their antiquated Squeezebox website: 1. Cannot manage your favorites from the site. 2. Cannot rearrange your favorites. 3. Cannot add custom URL so premium DI at high bit rate is only at 256 instead of 320.
